North Carolina’s Southern Distilling Company has released its newest expression: Southern Star Bottled-In-Bond Straight Rye Whiskey. 

Distilled and bottled in-house in Statesville, North Carolina, the whiskey has a mash bill of 51% rye, 39% corn, and 10% malted barley and honors the historic Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. The 100-proof whiskey has an SRP of $49.95.

“This is a whiskey built with intention and purpose,” Pete Barger, co-founder and CEO of Southern Distilling Company, said in a news release. “We leaned into the complexity of rye grain while honoring the legacy of bottled-in-bond—delivering a whiskey that’s unapologetically bold, yet remarkably smooth.”

Southern Star Bottled-In-Bond Straight Rye Whiskey is available for purchase at Southern Distilling Company’s Tasting Room (211 Jennings Road, Statesville, NC) and North Carolina ABC stores statewide.
